Told you I had too many ideas in my brain #Writingcommunity and #Booksky! Here's a little something else! The Dead Tree 💀🌳

MoodBoard style introduction to The Dead Tree by Reagan Faerwyn, featuring a central picture of a dead tree with no leaves with forest and sky in the background. Images on the moodboard include a white van driving in a forest, a stone octopus type carving, six teens at a campfire, the top of a skull, a drip into black liquid, and a whole in the earth as seen from below looking into the sky. The tagline reads "When six teens find a strange dead tree on a summer camping trip, an eighteen-year-old must outmaneuver an eldritch being to save his friends."

Hello Again #Questpit! Introducing my new #WIP #A #T MEDUSA'S GAZE A queer industrial retelling of the myth!

Title written in neon letting is “Medusa's Gaze” by Reagan Faerwyn, an adult queer revenge thriller. A neon sign glows above a dimly lit bar where a woman in fishnet stockings, red gloves on the counter. Subtitle reads, “Don’t look. It’s already too late.”

A neon “The Pitch” sign glows above a bar scene with a woman in fishnets and red gloves seated on the counter. Large text overlay reads:
“A cross between the Matrix and Birds of Prey, MEDUSA'S GAZE is part Greek tragedy, part queer revenge thriller, and all an unapologetically gay modern reimagining of the Medusa myth.
After years of surviving and witnessing betrayal and systemic violence, Medusa has had enough. She gathers her tight-knit crew of queer women and non-binary besties and leads her deadly found family of hackers, strippers, witches, and derby gurls through a methodical campaign of vengeance.”

A neon “The Flavor” sign glows above a bar scene with a woman in fishnets and red gloves seated on the counter. Book covers for The Change by Kirsten Miller, Harley Quinn Birds of Prey, and Metal from Heaven by August Clarke are. Surrounding text labels highlight themes: Journey of Revenge, Embracing Found Family, Welcoming Queer Joy, Protecting Our Own, Myth Retelling, Technologically Advanced World, Vigilante Ethics, and “Nevermind, I’ll do it myself.”

Neon lettering reads “The Snippet” at the top center of the page. On the right is a circular gold-line illustration of a woman with dark curly hair in multiple buns against a black background, set over a neon-lit bar scene. On the left text excerpt from the story appears which reads:
Elara loved this time of evening the best. It was late enough that diners and casual drinkers had gone home, but still early enough that the heavies didn’t have time to get sloppy. In this liminal space between dessert and disaster people were as free as they could be in this city. The Athena was a sanctuary in that way, the old sense of the word. It was a place where the rules of the outside world didn’t reach. She would make sure that the sanctuary was safe.
A drag queen Elara knew only as Madame Vespertini was working a small stage near the back, lost in a sip synch to rival Tom Holland. Her sequined dress was throwing sparks of neon light against the ceiling as she danced in her glittering heels. The air held the warmth of a room full of people who'd finally stopped performing what was expected from the outside world. She heard laughter as bubbles floated from the stage into the dancing crowd. Friends were welcomed, hands were held, and arms were draped around lovers’ shoulders moving with the music.

My final #questpit pitch of the day! Graham is stuck in a time loop where his former friend Abel always dies. Can Graham rekindle the relationship and garner enough trust to save him, all in the same repeated day? #W #YA #R #PR

Time to Kill is for you if you like:
Paranormal Death Curses
Time Loops
Found Family
Friends to Lovers
Friends to Strangers to Lovers
Second Chance Love
Requited Unrequited Love
Why Choose
Dysfunctional Families
Crossroads Deals
Polyamorous, Gay, and Trans Main Characters

The Pitch:

Graham hasn't talked to Abel in almost two years… but when he finds himself trapped in a time loop centered around Abel's death, it becomes pretty hard to stay away. Graham employs the help of his old friends in an effort to keep Abel alive until the next day, but it proves to be much harder than Graham could have ever anticipated when he learns he's not the only one carrying a curse on his shoulders.

With more and more things going wrong in every loop, can Graham find a way to escape the time loop without losing everything important to him?

Time to Kill is a story in 4 parts, each following one of the 4 main characters. These 4 main characters are each afflicted with a separate curse without (most) of the others knowing it.

Abel dies and resurrects the next day, over and over, and no one ever remembers.

Until Graham gets stuck in a time loop centered around Abel’s deaths.

The Grim Reaper follows Oliver, warning him when Abel is about to die...

While Abel’s best friend Tomás is afflicted with a curse that kills anyone he touches.

Snippet:

"It's not just to- I have my reasons!"

"You always 'have your reasons,'" Abel says mockingly, throwing his hands up. "Go have them somewhere else." He whirls around, walking off in the opposite direction, and Graham's worry explodes into full-blown panic.

"Nonono, please, please, please don't go," Graham begs him, his voice breaking pitifully.

Abel quickly comes to a stop, turning around with a concerned expression. He studies Graham for a moment, and Graham is so fucking scared for him, scared that he's messed this loop up already and Abel is going to walk away and die. He clenches his fists, digging his nails into the palms of his hands as he squeezes his eyes shut. Then he hears footsteps walking hesitantly towards him, and he sniffles as he opens his eyes.

"Graham," Abel says, much more gentle now. "What's going on?"

BARTLEBY x HOW TO PEE YOUR PANTS THE RIGHT WAY GYM CLASS STINKS! Is an amusing anthem for all the UNathletic, INdoorsy, sensory sensitive kids of the world…or any adult still working through their childhood dodgeball trauma. #QuestPit #Q #PB

GYM CLASS STINKS! Story: Throw a ball? Catch a ball? Run all the way around the gym?! If these phrases have ever made your palms sweat or your throat go dry, you’ll appreciate this anti-homage to the most dreaded class of the day. Told through comedic vignettes and rich, sensory details, GYM CLASS STINKS! is an anthem for anyone who has felt awkward, all thumbs, or all-together uncoordinated.

GYM CLASS STINKS! Sales Hooks: 1) Self-acceptance and empathy for non-athletic peers--fills a gap in the growth mindset category; 2) Read-Aloud-Ability: Comedic vignettes, a rhythmic pace, and a rebellious refrain; 3) SEL Sans Sermon--Examines self-doubt, fitting in, empathy, and acceptance through a relatable setting and humorous scenarios.

GYM CLASS STINKS! Comps: Bartleby (2026), Better than a Touchdown (2026), The Humble Pie (2025), How to Pee Your Pants the Right Way (2024)

Hello #QuestPit! I present the #agentsguide for my queer thought-he-was-dead second-chance romance steeped in necromancy & found family: Forged in the After 🗡📚☕🐾☕📚 #A #FR #F #R #Q

1. A dark textured stone background features a metallic gold peacock with intricate feathers on the left side. The title “Forged in the After” appears in large elegant white serif lettering. The author's name, Reagan Faerwyn, is below in white cursive script. A black banner at the bottom reads: “Adult Queer Romantic Fantasy - 99,000 Words”

2. On a dark textured stone background titled “The Pitch,” a black panel on the left contains white text: “When a psychic heir comes face to face with his presumed dead former boyfriend, they must together hunt down the source of dangerous mimic necromancy to protect their homes and the second chance they refuse to give up.”
On the right, an ornate gold picture frame contains a hand-drawn illustration of two young men gazing at each other fondly: one with messy red hair and round glasses, the other with silver hair, fangs, and pointed ears. The frame is decorated with gilded elements including a violin and a masquerade mask.”

3. On a dark textured stone background titled “The Flavor,” features a central collage of fantasy book covers including The Magicians by Lev Grossman, Kings Rising by C.S Pacat, Evocation by S.T. Gibson, A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland, and The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Golden decorative arrows point to the books from thematic labels: Necromancy & Monsters; You & Me Against the World; Building Found Family; Fallen Prince x Disillusioned Heir; Second Chance Romance; Occult Rituals, & Inherited Bloodline Magic.

4. On a dark textured stone background titled “The Snippet,” a black panel contains an excerpt from the story. A metallic gold phoenix emblem appears on the right side. The text reads:
Donovan stopped at the kitchen’s threshold. Jerrik faced away from him, shoulders bare to the morning and duskfire tattoo finally visible in daylight. Black-inked phoenix wings unfurled on broad shoulders.
For a moment he stared. At the man, the ink, the herbs. A ritually trained war mage and the last pact bearer of the Dark Hearth, shirtless in the kitchen, humming.
A fantasy. It was what Donovan had imagined. Somewhere, in the handful of moments he had let himself want a life of his own, it had looked something like this.
But the longer he watched, the more he knew this wasn’t really his life, and mornings like this didn’t repeat without consequences.
His father could never know that a prince of Averath survived.

Excerpt:
I push out against the hardness in front of me. It resists, but only for a few moments. Cracking and crunching noises fill my senses where only the beats were. I push harder. It fights me, but i cannot stop.
Cracks appear in front of me and… whatever it is i’m in is breached. Light and air flood over me and i gasp, drawing in lungfuls of air to sate the burning.
Thu-dump! Thu-dump!
My heart calms now that i have air, but it still beats rapidly. I still have to get out, i am in danger here! Get out and get up!
How do i know all this?
I push again, harder now that i’m breathing again. The cracks widen… and then i’m falling forward out of a large tear. My whole world tumbles, and then i’m half laying on a cold, rough, dirty floor, half hanging out of my vacated prison. I draw in another breath and start coughing, expelling dark liquid out of my lungs, but i am breathing fully and properly now.

“Impudent.”
“Arrogant,” I bite back.
We are toe-to-toe, nose-to-nose, her amber irises trembling.
“You know nothing.” Fala seethes. I laugh, drunk on her wild temper on I can ignite. That may have been true at the beginning of term but not now.
I know all about the woman I’ve spent the year ruefully falling in love with.

Racthoh's Tale:

Fire never knew the taste of Anthor’s glades. One morsel set the gluttonous flames loose across the dense fields as its blackened cough constricted the air we struggled to breathe. Mighty oaks were left ashened and hewn. Embers smothered the starry sky like an abundant snowfall avalanching without regard. Indulging the flame’s relentless appetite was a host of human soldiers, both living and undead, commanded to strip the life from my elven brethren as our cries of death were suppressed under the devouring blaze.

The complete first chapter for your enjoyment:

THE EVERWINTER KING Desperate to find his missing sun god, a former holy king returns home to compete in trials meant to bring his god back and stop the onslaught of an endless winter. 🏳️‍🌈 Queer norm world ☀️ Light-based magic 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans love interest 👑 Hidden royalty #QuestPit #Q #A #F #LGBT

Title page for an agent's guide to THE EVERWINTER KING. The title is placed over a moodboard featuring a Mediterranean inspired setting and royalty imagery. In addition to the title the page reads "Adult Fantasy Standalone. Queer normative world. MM romance subplot. 99,000 words."

THE EVERWINTER KING's pitch.

PITCH
A former holy king does the one thing he swore he’d never do in search of his missing god. He goes home.

Malachi was born with God’s voice in his head. When God vanishes in the midst of a decade-long winter, Mal breaks the oath he made to himself and returns to the home he abandoned—the city where he was raised to be king. There, he’s marked to compete in trials meant to select God’s new emissary. His replacement.

After succeeding in the first trial, Mal demands entry to the royal temple, where he learns the skies are empty. God has stopped speaking to his priests and Mal alike. With no other avenue for answers, Mal must win the competition for God’s favor and assume the throne he never wanted, or risk losing his oldest friend for good and damning the world to a worsening everwinter.

An excerpt from THE EVERWINTER KING. Next to the excerpt is character art of the main character. He has light bright skin, dark brown hair, facial hair, and a simple jerkin over white shirt. His eye is glowing like the sun.

EXCERPT STARTS BELOW

“My head hurts,” Malachi mumbled into his drink.

“They say King Ridaris’ eye glowed like this.”

Did they? Malachi shuffled through his memories for any mention of that from his mothers, or the history books, and found nothing.

“I think it means God knows who you are.” Sen lowered her voice, eyes shifting toward the surrounding priests. Kinder to pretend she did it out of concern for his headache. “You need to be careful.”

“Aye.”

“It hasn’t stopped glowing. Everyone else’s did.”

He raised a hand to cover his eye, pausing to marvel at the light pouring over his fingers and palm. It spilled into every crack, crevice, and scar his hand had to offer, like liquid pooled against his skin. Malachi closed his fist around the cold light and pressed it to his face. “Hurts.”

“Close your eyes,” Samara offered. “Rest. We’ll handle it from here.”

For once, he did just that.

A page listing comp titles.

Comp titles for THE EVERWINTER KING include: "The Raven Scholar" by Antonia Hodgson, "The Raven Tower" by Ann Leckie, "WITCH KING" by Martha Wells, and "The Red Winter" by Cameron Sullivan.

Similarities include: godly shenanigans, political trials, queer-norm worlds, queer male leads, messy homecomings, and a second chance subplot.

Bonus comp! Dragon Age 2.

After fleeing from his war-ravaged hometown, a timid boy enrolls in an elite knighthood academy while falling for the ghost haunting his rose-scented manor; but when enemy knights invade his cozy new town during a festival that allows the dead to live for a single night, he must learn how to rally his courage before the girl he loves is lost forever.

CHAPTER ONE
My ghost never hides in the shadows.
When the afternoon burns brightest, I’ll catch her silhouette in the sunshine. When night steals the sky I glimpse delicate blue eyes peeking out behind moonbeam curtains. It’s been five weeks since we've moved in, yet I've only ever found her in the light.
“She’s not your ghost,” reminds Olive. “I can see her, too!”
But my sister’s claim rattles out like a lie. Looking at her now, she’s scrunching her face up, squinting real tight, yet her eyes never seem to find the shimmering girl that runs through Rosefall Manor.
Not like mine do.
